Video: Freddie Roach: AMIR KHAN is faster than Manny Pacquiao

[DrewWoodside]

Looking at the Khan vs Barrera fight and the Berto vs Urango fight.

Khan clearly showed his speed. Didn't see much of Berto's at all.

I don't find that Berto maintains good speed much at all. For me Khan/Pacquiao/Judah are fastest.

quick review for some of you.

I cant see Khan handling Manny in sparring
This sounds like another ginger lie from the roach one..

Would'nt of thought he was much faster either both are rapid..

But props though this is gonna give Khan confidence

Judge for yourself:



It looks like Pac wasn't being aggressive as usual but regardless it looked pretty even to me.

IMO Khan does look a bit faster than Pac but I have to ask, does he punch with power during his flurries? He looked blazing fast vs. Barrera but some of the combos he was landing looked like pitty-pat arm punches to me. I dunno.

Roach said that in his gym, he never tells anyone to take it easy in sparring. The only rule is that if you hurt someone to stop punching.

Clearly Khan and Pacquiao are pretty evenly matched, which is quite shocking because Prescott is unknown and made Khan look like a joke in only 20 seconds.

Now I understand why Roach doesn't put Pac in the ring with any punchers, and why he wants them to be weak and drained. It amplifies the advantages of Pacquiao, his hand speed. Or Khan as an example in the ring with the shot Barrera. A healthy strong puncher, such as Prescott, would walk through those pity pat punches and knockout both of them.
